Pirates: Devour All Evil

It took three days of sea breeze for Karsas to digest all the bodies of the pirates and Oz.

Facing the long-lost sunshine, it is indeed more comfortable to enjoy the refreshing breeze and bathe in the sunshine.

"That's great. I gained two more devil fruit abilities."

Karsas looked inside the fortified city. Of the 108 hearts above, seven had already transformed into the shape of devil fruits.

Swallow Swallow Fruit, Snow Snow Fruit, Castle Fruit, Door-Door Fruit, Transparent Fruit, Ghost Fruit, Shadow-Shadow Fruit.

"We are almost at the Marine Headquarters. It's great that we not only killed so many pirates during this vacation, but also saved so many marines."

After a while, the "Peacock" sailed into the navy's "Gate of Justice".

As naval personnel confirmed Karsas' identity as brigadier general.

The hundreds-meter-high "Gate of Justice" opened, and the rumbling sound was deafening.

"Commodore Karsas, please come in."

A team of navy men saluted and stood at attention nervously, looking at Karsas.

"Uh...comrades, thank you for your hard work!"

Karsus didn't know what to say, so he could only talk nonsense.

Enter the "Gate of Justice" and ride the government-exclusive ocean current to quickly reach the Navy Headquarters "Marinford".

Dock, stop the boat, drop anchor, all in one go.

"Ah! I see you again, T. Penn!"

Karsus looked at T. Peng, wondering if his T also had a special meaning like the "D Clan".

"Long time no see, Captain T. Penn of the Navy Headquarters, nice to meet Commodore Karsas."

T. Peng En smiled kindly and respectfully, but to outsiders, his kind smile looked like a terrifying and emaciated evil smile.

"T. Penn, I want to... recruit you into my army, is that okay?"

Karsus wants to use all means to protect this spark - the guy with the most positive values ​​in this pirate world.

He has great love for civilians, great hatred for pirates, is close to his subordinates, and is brave and good at fighting, just like the brightest sunshine illuminating the surrounding darkness.

He is like a mirror that is nobler than oneself. Just by looking at him, one can warn oneself and face up to one's potential problems.

He should not have died while being wanted by the Cross Guild. He should have basked in the sun and enjoyed people's praise.

"Well... I want to ask Marshal Zhan Guo. If Marshal Zhan Guo agrees, I am willing to join Commodore Karsas' fleet."

T. Penn stroked his messy hair, uncertainly.

"Okay, I'll take you away, don't worry."

T. Peng was confused by Karsas's incoherent words.

Karsas commanded the navy soldiers attacked by Moria and asked them to report to T. Penn.

However, they were all soldiers who had been reported missing for a long time, and it would definitely be difficult to assign them if they suddenly "came back to life".

But who can blame him for being kind-hearted? Looking at the two or three hundred naval soldiers in front of him, Karsas decided to recruit them.

Let them once again establish glorious military exploits after having failed for so long.

Maybe I am their savior!

"Peacock, let's go and meet Grandma Crane!"

"Ah."

Karsas clasped his five fingers together and held Peacock's white and tender little hand tightly.

Peacock blushed unconsciously and covered his already hot cheek with his other hand.

"What should I do? I'm so shy with so many people looking at me..."

The peacock's murmurs as soft as mosquitoes and its actions that tried to cover up its true intentions made it even more adorable in Karsus' eyes.

Along the way, I saw that the Navy Headquarters had not changed much.

However, the navy girl Tashigi who trained day and night in front of the navy building was missing. She was probably recruited by Smoker.

I must go to the East China Sea to find her. The oath I once promised her to collect all the swords of sin cannot become a passing cloud.

Walking up to the naval building and looking at the wooden door in front of him, Karsas still knocked on the door, adhering to the excellent traditional cultural virtues.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Please come in!"

Granny He's voice came from inside the door.

Pushing the door open, I saw that the person sitting in the main seat was Marshal Zhan Guo, and Granny He was sitting next to him.

And Garp and Borsalino were sitting on the sofa nearby.

But I didn't see the other two generals.

"Hey, hey, hey~ Isn't this Brigadier General Karsas? What brings you here?"

I don't know whether Borsalino did it intentionally or unintentionally, but he always had a faint smile on his already wretched face, which really asked for a beating.

"Uh... I have something important to report to Marshal Zhan Guo."

Restraining the urge to punch this guy, Karsas stood at attention in front of Marshal Sengoku.

"What's wrong with you, kid? When you have nothing to do, you call Zhan Guo and me old Deng and old Deng."

Garp yawned and woke up from his sleep. He looked at the senbei in his hand, only the bag was left, and his eyes widened.

"Zhan Guo Lao Deng! Did you steal the senbei from my hand while I was sleeping?"

Capladen rushed forward angrily and grabbed Zhan Guo by the collar.

This made Zhan Guo, who wanted to establish a good image in front of Karsas, feel uneasy.

"Nothing happened. It was just that when we passed by Moria Island, he bullied us without asking any questions. I had no choice but to use my admiral-level combat power to fight him. In the end, I killed him."

"What? You killed Moria, that Shichibukai? That's awesome!"

Karp walked directly to Karsus and patted his shoulder happily.

Marshal Zhan Guo was silently thinking about how to deal with the questions from the Five Elders.

"Ah! By the way, after I killed Moria, I found out that Moria secretly captured two to three hundred navy soldiers. We can frame him for the crime of 'attacking navy soldiers for several years'."

Karsas wanted to explain Moria's crimes to Marshal Sengoku to prove his own justice.

"This...is not appropriate. The Five Elders will not let this go. Is there any other solution?"

"I have two solutions. First, there is nothing in this world that cannot be accomplished with profit. I will just throw 10 billion Baileys into it. The Five Elders will definitely not care about it. Over time, this matter will eventually be forgotten."

A hint of helplessness still appeared on Marshal Zhan Guo's face.

He understood the personalities of the Five Elders. Face was extremely important to them. Anyone who dared to violate the rules they set would surely pay a heavy price, at least 10 billion Beli, but 20 billion Beli would be about the same.

"There is another way... that is to demote me to the rank of Commodore of the Navy's East China Sea Branch."

In the navy's military merit system, the headquarters must be at least one level higher than the branch. For example, if you are a lieutenant general in the branch, then when you go to the headquarters you will only be at the level of lieutenant colonel.

It turns out that this conversion is indeed true.

Karsus directly downgraded himself to a lower level, which showed his courage to sacrifice his own chariot to save his king.

To the naval generals who valued military merit, this was simply unbelievable.

"As long as there is life, there will be no shortage of firewood. The Five Elders will not use dead pirates to punish living admirals."

Karsas lay on the sofa next to Borsalino, looking at Grandma Crane who had been silent.

"Yo yo yo~ You're giving up your hard-earned military merit so easily. What a terrible state of mind you have!"

"The Five Elders care most about face. If Karsus can downgrade himself, that should be enough."

Granny He is also an old lady who has known the bottom line of the Five Elder Stars for many years.

Marshal Zhan Guo lowered his head, picked up a pen to calculate the total gains and losses, and nodded.

"Let's just declare the result this time. Karsus will be demoted to Commodore of the Marine Branch."

"If I can choose, I want to go to the East China Sea. I want to see the place where One Piece was born and see the scenery of the East China Sea."

"By the way, let's meet Garp's grandson, who he always talks about - Monkey D. Luffy."

"Don't worry! Cap Laoden, I will try my best not to let him become a pirate. Even if he becomes a pirate, I will not let him become a villain."

"My rank should be higher than Smoker's. When the time comes, summon him."

"Then Peacock and I will be leaving. You old guys please take care of yourselves."

Karsus deliberately forced a smile, trying to make this farewell seem less sad.

“Put these things here.”

Karsus took out the gifts that had been prepared long ago from the fortress space, including senbei and tea cakes for Garp and Sengoku, pajamas for Kuzan, coffee for Borsalino, and a pink suit for Akainu...

"In addition, I will take T. Penn and the marines rescued from Moria with me."

"Oh, I see."

After Karsas left, Zhan Guo raised his head which had been lowered all the time, his glasses filled with tears.

"Garp, the sensible Karsus is gone. I still feel so sad, wuwu~"

Zhan Guo lay on the table and cried bitterly. It was the first time he cried so sadly after Rosinante left.

As the saying goes, a good doctor treats illness before it occurs. During this trip, Karsas will ensure that no pirate dares to show up in the East China Sea.

Karsas returned to the ship and recruited T. Penn and two or three hundred naval soldiers.

"Let's go to the East China Sea."

"Yes! Brigadier General Karsas."

This will be another journey that no one praises.
